Meet Ontario, B.C’s Latest Lotto Millionaires

Lotto MAX remains one of the most popular draw-based games across the Canadian provinces, as it brings a constantly growing Main prize twice a week, every week. This Tuesday, July 27, witnessed the latest draw of the popular game, but as it turned out, not a single ticket managed to match the numbers drawn and bring its purchaser some CA$15,000,000.

Due to the high levels of engagement with this lottery product, every draw without a winner brings an even larger subsequent one. July 30 is set to introduce the next Lotto MAX draw with its Main prize of CA$20 million. Such a surge of the prize is quite normal, because of the millions of invested patrons out there.

Lotto 6/49

Now that the great prize is out of the way, let’s talk about the latest lottery millionaires across Canada, who have already claimed their jackpots or have yet to do so. Lotto 6/49 is the other generous lottery game that is still looking for a ticketholder that could easily become a millionaire if they contact Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

It was recently confirmed that a ticket old in Niagara could bag a CA$6-million Main prize. The ticket in question was purchased ahead of the July 24 Lotto 6/49 draw in Niagara and it could make one individual or a group of players richer. The province of Ontario also managed to attract the second prize of that very Lotto 6/49 draw. A ticket purchased online by the OLG.ca website became eligible for a cash payout of CA$214,230.20.

The Crown corporation recommends that all Lotto 6/49 fans check their drawers and purses for misplaced tickets that could possibly change their life. In addition to these two prizes, individuals hailing from the province also bagged ten of the twenty CA$10,000 additional guaranteed prizes coming with that very draw. Players from Simcoe County, Niagara, Barrie, Toronto, Kitchener, Greater Sudbury, and Huron County have yet to claim their prizes.

BC/69

British Columbia was another province that saw many lottery enthusiasts win big and receive their prizes over the past couple of days. Lotto 6/49 and BC/49 were the two lottery games that managed to make this possible. Lea Olsen received her Main prize of CA$2,000,000 just recently. This prize came with the June 19 BC/49 regular draw and the lottery fan is now ready for her retirement.

The player hailing from Port Coquitlam was on her penultimate week on the job, when she found out the good news that she is richer. She used a combination of family birthdates and those brought her good fortune. Now it is time for her to travel Europe, as she has always dreamed of. Another recent winner is Frances Lloyd who has Lotto 6/49 to thank for her CA$3,000,000 prize.

June 19 was a special day for her too, as this is when the special draw happened and split the CA$6-million Main prize into two halves. The Pakrsville player recently bagged her half and talked about her plans for the foreseeable future. She wants to buy a new house, as well as support her family with a portion of the lottery jackpot.
